on the Go with Bo!

Massage followed by freshly squeezed fruit juice

And the massages I’m referring to are not the ones that you will find in luxury spas, but walk-in massage parlours in shopping malls. To finish off a hectic day of retail therapy, why don’t you treat yourself to 40 minutes of foot reflexology and a 20 minute back massage that will get the good old blood pumping again.

There is a chain of massage parlours called Wan Yang and you will find one in every major shopping mall on the island. I always go to the one in Plaza Singapura and when I’m done, I head to the juice bar that is just adjacent and order a revitalizing, freshly squeezed fruit juice.

When it’s time to pay, you will be surprised how totally affordable this whole experience is. And so well worth it!

24 hour shopping at Mustafa Centre

My first experience with Mustafa Centre was a few years ago when Robin and I came to Singapore for a business trip. Of course, flying in from Europe the jet lag really hits you coming this way. Needless to say at 2 am you find yourself wide awake and wondering what the heck should you do to tire yourself out!

So off to Mustafa Centre we went. Someone told us it's open 24 hours and that it's a must experience in Singapore. We hopped into a taxi and went shopping. After spending more than 2 hours there, we came back with full bags: PDA's, Gillette razors, creams, socks, underwear, etc. Everything that is way more expensive in Europe.

By the time we got back it was past 4 am, we were exhausted, had a great story and went straight back to sleep. So, next time you're jet lagged or if you're just looking for bargains, I recommend you head to Mustafa Centre.
